When Strength Becomes Your Weakness

You stood strong. You gave your all. You believed in love, in commitment, in the idea that if you just tried harder, things would get better. But in reality, your strength became your downfall.

A narcissist thrives on your resilience. They test your limits, manipulate your emotions, and push you to the point where you no longer recognize yourself. And still, you stayed - hoping, believing, and fighting for something that was never real.

"Sometimes we refuse to see how bad something is until it completely destroys us."

But here’s the truth: It’s not your fault. You were conditioned to overlook the pain, to excuse the manipulation, and to silence your own needs. You were made to believe that walking away meant failure.

But breaking free is not failure - it’s survival.

• You don’t have to let this destroy you.

• You are allowed to choose YOU.

• Healing begins when you stop justifying their behavior and start reclaiming your power.

The moment you see the truth is the moment you take back control. Your journey isn’t over - it’s just beginning. And this time, it’s about YOU.
